Yes, it can be done. My wife has done it a few times. Matzah, brown sugar and butter combine to produce a quite reasonable impression of graham cracker crumbs. One limitation you run in to is the milk & meat thing so it isn't common at sedars, but we've definitely had it a couple years.

I forgot to check in at the Days Inn here last night for my BD points. I'm going to try to negotiate that this morning to see if I can still get the credit. I hope I win.

Very uncool about the FD finally being dead. That being said, I still see dumped itineraries on ITA that are effectively FD-ing. Is the issue that they are no longer bookable?

Good Morning, Box.

More wretched weather here in NJ. And big :td: to the powers that be over at AFWD... I've never used the trick myself but was hoping to do it someday (when I can actually do an international trip...)

I don't see anything about FD at that site. But maybe I am a noob. :confused:

It looks like they blanked out the article. There are still comments remaining - you can find the link off of fozz, gleff, or lucky9876coins's blogs.

Now AFWD is asking @upgrd if the FD was ethical. HA!

:rolleyes:

What can I say, I'm easily impressed. :p

yummy-NASCAR wine

I'm not sure if I now dislike AFWD more than BA or is it just about a tie? :mad:

IMHO AFWD is a pretty worthless website.... this is a bit of consolation to me.

The bomb is pricing my multi-city itins... but with the YQ in full force :(

I stand corrected. Last night when I was trying, each multi-city itin failed.

And I agree with you about AFWD. I've never found them to be particularly useful.
